OHIO GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY DIGITAL LIBRARY Providing Digital Resources to Our Members Worldwide OHIO GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY DIGITAL LIBRARY Providing Digital Resources to our Members Worldwide Title: The Ohio Story Radio Scripts, MSS 218 Files 1-24 Digitized Scripts Available: www.ogsarchive.org The Ohio Story scripts were donated by the author's son, Jonathan Seidel, Cleveland, Ohio, on 12 Aug 1996. The original finding aid, developed by librarian Elizabeth Glasgow, said: "Collection contains the original scripts of the radio show, The Ohio Story, which aired in Cleveland during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Collection includes 2 stapled indexes to scripts running (by location) through Ada to Mesopotamia, Ohio, and 23 spiral-bound collections of scripts. Two sheets of biographical material about the author Frank Seidel are also included. The scripts read as such, complete with orchestra prompts, commercial breaks, etc. Not all scripts in the index were included in the donation." In 2014, librarian Tom Neel received a $2000 Ohio Archives Grant (funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), an arm of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) through their State and National Archival Partnership (SNAP) Grants program) to digitize the scripts. Developed by Strongsville native and historian Frank Seidel, the shows aired three times per week from 1947 to 1967 in Akron, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Youngstown, and Zanesville. The sponsor was the Ohio Bell Telephone Company and the narrator was initially Robert Waldrop, and later, Nelson Olmsted (1914-1982). These were short pieces about Ohio communities, events, and personalities, generally ten minutes in length, and were used to fill air time after a 20-minute news block. They were conversational history, bringing in current events and a lot of humor. Later scripts were also written by William Ellis, known for his Rivers of America series. A television version was initiated in June 1952. Stuart Buchanan was the director throughout. Both Tom Field and Robert Waldrop served as announcers. The OGS collection of scripts is incomplete. We discovered that the Western Reserve Historical Society (Cleveland) has a partial collection and the Columbus Metropolitan Library and the Ohio History Connection (Columbus) have complete copies, but hardbound.

    THE COLOR LINE IN OHIO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 1829-1890 DISSERTATION Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By LEONARD ERNEST ERICKSON, B. A., M. A, ****** The Ohio State University I359 Approved Adviser College of Education ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is not the work of the author alone, of course, but represents the contributions of many persons. While it is impossible perhaps to mention every­ one who has helped, certain officials and other persons are especially prominent in my memory for their encouragement and assistance during the course of my research. I would like to express my appreciation for the aid I have received from the clerks of the school boards at Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, and Warren, and from the Superintendent of Schools at Athens. In a similar manner I am indebted for the courtesies extended to me by the librarians at the Western Reserve Historical Society, the Ohio State Library, the Ohio Supreme Court Library, Wilberforce University, and Drake University. I am especially grateful to certain librarians for the patience and literally hours of service, even beyond the high level customary in that profession. They are Mr. Russell Dozer of the Ohio State University; Mrs. Alice P. Hook of the Historical and Philosophical Society; and Mrs. Elizabeth R. Martin, Miss Prances Goudy, Mrs, Marion Bates, and Mr. George Kirk of the Ohio Historical Society. ii Ill Much of the time for the research Involved In this study was made possible by a very generous fellowship granted for the year 1956 -1 9 5 7, for which I am Indebted to the Graduate School of the Ohio State University.

  • A Glance at the Garden of Eden by the Editors
    A Glance at the Garden of Eden by the Editors The river; the miles of distant hills extending along the Kentucky side of the stream; the less remote high lands of Ohio, rolling away in multitu- dinous waves of improved lands; the suburbs of the city to the north and east, and the city at the foot of the hill, teeming with its busy thousands, make up a prospect so rare that it may be said the park, for location, hardly has its peer. The avenues meander by graceful curves through the grounds, at every turn shutting out something the visitor has just seen, but revealing another landscape filled with new beauties. t hardly seems credible that Eden Park, described so glowingly in 1870, the I year of its dedication, could just twenty-four years earlier have been dis- missed as "broken hill land too poor to raise sauer kraut upon." Yet this was the rebuff which Nicholas Longworth met in 1846 when he proposed that the city buy a portion of his lands atop Mount Adams. Longworth had in fact tried for years—as early as 1818—to interest the city fathers in acquiring some of his land for park use, without success. In 1842 he offered suitable acreage at $500 an acre, which he claimed was well below its actual value, but his proposal was declined. The price, he was advised, was too high. With the refusal in 1846 of his latest offer, Longworth grew exasperated. The following year he published an article renewing his earlier offers and "remarking that he knew they would all be refused, but that he wished to stand on record as having offered to the city ground which would be in time worth five, ten, and twenty times its value then." Stung by the implication that his motive lay more with profit than with public service, Longworth de- clared that one day the people would be asking why sites on the hills had not been purchased earlier when land prices were low.

  • Nicholas Longworth 17 Nicholas Longworth: Art Patron of Cincinnati
    Spring 1988 Nicholas Longworth 17 Nicholas Longworth: Art Patron of Cincinnati Abby S. Schwartz ... A little bit of an ugly man came in...he came forward and, taking my hand and squeezing it hard, he looked at me with a keen, earnest gaze. ... His manners are extremely rough and almost course, but his shrewd eyes and plain manner hide a very strong mind and generous heart.1 These observations made in 1841 by the young artist Lilly Martin Spencer hardly seem appropriate for a man who was among America's wealthiest and one of Cin- cinnati's most prominent citizens. Described by another contemporary as "dry and caustic in his remarks" and "plain and careless in his dress, looking more like a beggar than a millionaire,"2 Nicholas Longworth, however eccentric and controversial, was a leading Cincinnati art patron as well as an outstanding collector and a generous supporter of the arts during the middle of the nineteenth century. Longworth's eccentricities of dress and behav- ior are well documented in photographs, portraits, and anec- dotes. While the Portrait of Nicholas Longworth by Robert Scott Duncanson (1 821-1872) portrays the subject as an important property owner and vintner, the work also docu- ments Longworth's eccentric habit of pinning notes to his suit cuffs to remind himself of important errands and appoint- ments. The portrait, painted in 18 5 8, is on permanent loan to the Cincinnati Art Museum from the Ohio College of Applied Science. An often repeated anecdote details young Abraham Lincoln's visit to Longworth's renowned gardens During the years he resided at Belmont (now where Lincoln mistook the master of the house for a gardener: the Taft Museum), 1830 until his death in 18 6 3, Longworth In the middle of the gravel path leading to a pillared portico, a amassed a personal art collection, assisted a number of artists small, queerly dressed old man, with no appearance whatever offinancially, offered advice and letters of introduction to having outgrown his old-fashioned raiment, was weeding.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

But when a provocative Tom of Finland doll triggers Michael's long-buried desires, Betty discovers that secrets have been part of their life all along. With long-held mysteries thrust into the open, the foundation of their marriage and the path of their golden years is suddenly rocked. Now, they must redefine their future, and decide if it is one their love can survive. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: Soon after I arrived in the United States, almost 20 years ago, I realized that loneliness and depression are common themes in the elderly universe. Without the support of close relatives, some have no one to call for help or solace and furthermore have no meaningful structures of community or support. Aging often brings illness, reduced income and loss of family and friends. Rather than ignore the problems facing the aging communities, I decided to build upon them by creating films that push these issues into the spotlight. Tom in America is a story based on dozens of testimonies I heard from gay seniors, particularly gay men, who have found themselves in a heterosexual relationship and, interesting enough, some of them have been able to manage their marital obligations with their inner desires.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Proquest Dissertations
    INFORMATION TO USERS This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMi films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion.
